What should you do?

If you don’t sleep well, your food intake will increase – not in a good way, as you start craving foods that build up the fat in the body. The study emphasizes the need for healthy sleeping patterns so blood sugar levels are maintained properly, while risks of metabolic diseases like obesity and diabetes are reduced.

Dr. Caroline Apovian, a fellow and spokesperson for The Obesity Society has repeatedly stated that health practitioners must continue advising about proper sleep to their patients, because it is equally vital as eating balanced diets. In fact, those two go hand-in-hand, when it comes to sustaining equilibrium in the body.

Dr. Broussard will continue conducting advanced research to find out if recovery sleep can improve insulin sensitivity. .
